1st Edition. Single sheet, (32 ¾ x 43 inches). Fine engraving showing a hunting scene (separation at plate mark, repaired, affecting the imprint). First edition. Sir Edwin Landseer once wrote, "Who does not glory in the death of a fine stag?" In 1847 the Marquis of Bredalbane commissioned Landseer to create a large painting he entitled "A Drive of Deer - Glen Orchay." Landseer sent the painting to the Royal Academy, and Breadalbane presented it to Prince Albert (the engraving is dedicated to the Prince Consort as well). It was then engraved by Thomas Landseer, Sir Edwin's brother, and at the time was the largest plate ever executed from any work by that artist. Glen Orchay, also written as Glenorchy, is located in Argylshire, and visible in both the painting and the engraving are a range of hills which are part of the Southern Grampians. "Landseer had close links with the sphere of zoological art through his friendship with [Joseph] Wolf and through the activities of his own brothers, Charles and Thomas Landseer, both of whom were occasionally employed as illustrators of popular books on natural history. However, his paintings had a scale, dramatic power and imaginative exaltation that set them apart from such works. They were history paintings, but of a completely original kind, in the sense that they invested the lives of animals themselves with tragic grandeur. That this could be done so convincingly is itself evidence of great changes in attitudes to nature in the nineteenth century: the profound philosophical implications of the discoveries in geology, paleontology and evolutionary theory which I have outlined placed animals at the forefront of consciousness. As a writer in the London Quarterly Review put it in 1874, Landseer painted 'the poetry of animal life, running so curiously parallel to the poetry of human life' (Diana Donald, Picturing Animals in Britain, 1750-1850, p. 94). "One of his pictures, 'The Drive' (as here), which was exhibited in 1847 and acquired by Prince Albert, showed a herd of deer funneled through a narrow mountain pass and presenting an easy target for the concealed guns. As the Art-Union's reviewer noted, what it showed was not stalking but ambush: a practice which Landseer himself described in a letter as 'base atrocious or contemptible assassination.' The artist who in 1844 had represented the spearing of an otter with a bravado and flamboyance that defied remonstration now showed himself increasingly ill at ease with the sporting myth" (Donald, p. 303).…

Naast de zwemmende herten zit een mannetje in een boom. Bij de herten die in het water springen staan twee jagers te kijken. Decoratief stukje papierkunst. Betaande uit 5 bladen. Dit zogenaamde "waterjagen" gebeurde in Frankrijk en Duitsland, waar edelen vanuit boten deelnamen aan drijfjachten waarbij herten de rivier of een moeras werden ingejaagd. Dit jagen was een ritueel van dominatie, een uitdrukking van macht, rijkdom en verfijning. In grote jachtdomeinen werden er speciale gebieden ontworpen met vijvers, moerassen of rivieren. Drijfjachten werden georganiseerd waarbij jachthonden en drijvers herten opjoegen tot ze de rivier of het moeras in werden gejaagd. Vervolgens kwamen de edelen, vaak in versierde boten of vlotten om het dier te schieten of te observeren. Specifieke afbeeldingen van waterjachten met edelen op boten en herten in het water zijn zeldzaam. …
